Performances at Anthology Film Archives by by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Alan Licht & Jandek.
In Our Hands is a nine week programme of workshops exploring radical approaches to health and collective care in the movement for liberation and social justice.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
A performance, a radio show, an installation, an endurance test. A game of chance. Constantly broadcasting live, actor Tam Dean Burn will leave Tramway at the start of INSTAL and walk away from it, in an ever increasing spiral, for a day. Then he’ll walk back.

An LSD trip gone right via dense explorations of post-Fahey steel and low level drone.
